chapter twenty-two

10pm

The concert had just finished up, the boys said their good-byes as they walked off of the stage. All the fans began to leave the venue, but it took awhile seeing as there were so many fans and such little exits.

I decided to stay where I was for a few minutes, flicking through my camera
to have a look at all the photos I took.
Checking to see if any photos were blurry or badly taken. Everyone had left, but some of the staff and other people on tour, were packing everything up.

The boys went to a green room
backstage, along with other staff. I decided to finish up looking at the photos, deciding which were okay, and put it away.

"Hey, do you wanna go for a drink?" Ronnie said as she walked onto the stage in front of me.

"Oh, eh, I don't drink." I frowned softly, giving her a sort of sorry looked.

"Oh, we could like, go for a walk." She suggested, smiling as she sat the down on the stage, crossing her legs.

"Yeah, just let me grab my coat." I smiled, throwing my camera bag over my shoulder as I jumped up onto the stage.

I walked past ronnie, going to the side of the stage and walked back to one of the dressing rooms. No one was inside, so I was able to just go in and grab it.
I walked back out to ronnie, putting my coat on as I got to her.

"Are you ready?" She smiled at me, as she pushed herself to stand in front of me.

"Yeah." I smiled back to her, jumping off the stage and walking towards the entrance to the venue, where fans come in.

I wasn't sure where we were going, so I decided to search up a coffee shop, since I was in kind of in the mood for hot-chocolate, also hoping ronnie would want to go as well.

"There's a coffee shop a block down, can we go?" I asked, sort of feeling like a child asking for something.

"You read my mind." She chuckled softly, her blonde hair moving as she did.

We began to walk to the coffee shop, I kept directions on my phone to help us get there, without being lost on the way. We were talking as we walked, getting to know each other more, and especially stuff about tour and how we're finding it. It strangely felt nice having someone to talk to on tour, that wasn't a boy.

"Are you used to being around boys?" Ronnie asked me, just as we reached the coffee shop.

"I guess, I have a brother, but I live by myself now, so I'm not as used to it." I smiled pushing the door open, letting her go in first.

The coffee shop, strangely had some same resemblance to the coffee shop where I lived. I smiled to myself, taking a deep breath, smelling the fresh coffee. The shop was small, but it had a good few people in it compared to the one at home. Ronnie grabbed a table for us, which was right beside the window, looking out onto the town.

"What would you like, m'lady?" I asked her poshly, as she sat down and I began to go towards the counter.

"Latte, and maybe a croissant, I'm starving." She said, pulling a ten dollar bill out of her pocket, trying to hand it to me.

"It's fine, I'll pay." I smiled at her, furrowing my eyebrows, before walking off, leaving her at the table.

I reached the counter, there was someone in front of me ordering, and I was next. I went up, ordering what ronnie wanted and what I wanted, which was just a hot-chocolate.
I handed the person at the counter the money, and telling her to keep the change.
